AUSTRALIA - Ex-gxxg member to hide interstate

OFF THE WIRE
A COMANCHEROS bikie on bail has quit the gang and won court approval to move interstate to escape violence in Adelaide.
The man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, yesterday asked the District Court to vary his bail conditions.

He is yet to stand trial on aggravated assault charges.

Tessa Diamandi, for the man, said the man's need to move interstate was pressing.

"The reason for (the application) is there has been a lot of recent events and my client is concerned for his family's safety should he be in the state at the time being," she said.

"He wishes to travel interstate to stay with a friend for a period of time."

She said prosecutors had objected to the application due to her client's Comancheros membership.

"I can state that I do have instructions that my client no longer is a member of the Comancheros Motorcycle Club," she said.

"He has handed his colours in, so that may go some way to putting the court's mind at ease."

She said she was "happy to provide" the interstate residential address to prosecutors but asked it not be kept on the court file for reasons of safety.

The application was granted by Judge David Smith.
